Answer:
6 days.
Explanation:
From radioactivity, The expression for half life is given as,
R/R' = 2⁽ᵃ/ᵇ)................... Equation 1
Where R = original mass of the radioactive substance, R' = Remaining mass of the radioactive substance after decay, a = Total time taken to decay, b = half life.
Given: R = 80 g, R' = 10 g, b = 2 days.
Substitute into equation 1
80/10 = 2⁽ᵃ/²⁾
8 = 2⁽ᵃ/²⁾
2³ = 2⁽ᵃ/²)
Equating the base and solving for a
3 = a/2
a = 2×3
a = 6 days.
Answer:
Wavelength = 0.48 m (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Speed of sound = 340 m/s
Frequency = 706 hz
Find:
Wavelength
Computation:
Wavelength = Speed of sound / Frequency
Wavelength = 340 / 706
Wavelength = 0.48 m (Approx)
Answer:
Please refer to the figure.
Explanation:
The magnitude of the magnetic field can be found by Biot-Savart Law. We should divide the loop into four components. Each component has a similar solution but their directions are quite different.
The directions can be found by right-hand rule. Point your index finger into the direction of current, point your middle finger towards the target point (0,0,a). Your thumb will show you the direction of magnetic field.
As we know that two charges exert force on each other when they are placed near to each other
The force between two charges is given as
here we know that
= two different point charges
r = distance between two point charges
also we know that two similar charges always repel each other while two opposite charges always attract each other
so here correct answer would be
<em>A. A positive and negative charge attract each other.</em>
Answer:
Momentum is given by
p
=
m
v
. Impulse is the change of momentum,
I
=
Δ
p
and is also equal to force times time:
I
=
F
t
. Rearranging,
F
=
I

=
Δ

This is called the impulse:

. Impulse is also equal (check the units) to force times time:

We can rearrange this expression to make

The negative sign just means the force acting is in the opposite direction to the initial momentum.
(This will be the average force acting during the collision: collisions are chaotic so the force is unlikely to be constant.)
